Another game we dominate. Another two points dropped because of profligate finishing and a crazy five minutes of football when we basically forgot to do all the basics. To go away to Arsenal, a side who ripped Man Utd a new one (despite the result) and have one of the best home records in Europe,...

I wouldn't get too hung up about starting positions. Coutinho will come deep when he needs to, and drift left at times as well as moving up to support Firmino. In attack, more or less a 424, and a 451 when defending.
